The origins of a heartbeat bill come from Janet Folger Porter, president of Faith2Action and former Ohio Right to Life legislative1 director.
"Once the heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected, pretty simple, if you can hear that baby's heartbeat, then that child will be protected by law."
"I have to say that it won't pass constitutional review, so it goes against the Roe2 vs. Wade3 language."
That's the bill of Becki Brenner, executive director of Planned Parenthood of southwest Ohio. However, Paula Westwood of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati says Republican gains in Columbus and Washington make this the right time to act.
"The goal for a lot of legislative strategies is to have something that would get through committee, would get out, and would be declared unconstitutional, make it up through the courts to the Supreme4 Court."
"You know, these legislators, they were hired for jobs and economic development, and that's where they need to be putting their attention."
"We're going to force the court to look at these distinctive5, definitive6 moments when the child's heart begins to beat."
Civil rights attorney Al Gerhardstein who's defended abortion7 providers says in his opinion, the measure won't get very far.
